Make default print at 100%

[Suvojit Chakraborty]

Hi,

I have a problem which seems to be trivial but is very annoying. I have a jsp page in which there is a print icon. On clicking print icon, the entire page is printed(depending on rules I specified in print.css file) using window.print() . I have rules which make a perfect printing on 100% scale but on shrink to fit mode, lot of space is left on right side of page. As result letters in print become very small. The problem I am facing is on click of print, the default print mode which is getting selected is Shrink to fit instead of 100%. I wanted to know is there any way by which I can override this behavior to make 100% as the default print mode.

Thanks for help

P.S. I have found on google few hacks for this: like running some commands to change registry. But these wont work as I cant ask clients to run these.

JavaScript and CSS have poor control over printing.

Thanks for reply Eric.

I have also realized the same. But isnt there any way around to solve this problem?

Thanks

Unless the browser supports some of the CSS3 stuff, there really is nothing you can do to control printing.
